ID Locator Service

The Alzheimer’s Community Care ID Locator Service provides an additional safety net tool for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and related neurocognitive disorders who may wander away from a safe and supervised setting. This program partners with SafetyNet Tracking Systems and Law Enforcement agencies to assist in a wandering event within our three service territories of Palm Beach, Martin and St Lucie counties.

Through our Family Nurse Consultants, the patient and caregiver are deemed eligible for the ID Locator Service. The ID Locator Team receives the referral, conducts the enrollment process and then secures the SafetyNet equipment. Utilizing radio frequency technology, patients are fitted with the device worn like a watch. Rescue personnel can track their assigned frequency signal on the ground within a mile radius and 5-7 miles via helicopter when necessary.

This technology, unlike cellular and GPS technology, assists rescue personnel to track a patient’s signal through concrete buildings, shallow water and densely wooded areas. Prompt location of the patient is essential because 80 percent of those missing for more than 72 hours will not survive the event.
